Beware my EV-il plan...

I think movies have done us a disservice. Many times when we watch movies, the bad guys have these evil plans, and we can see the plan right from the beginning, and we generally know that they are going to make a mistake and that good is going to win out over evil in then end.

As a result, a lot of times, we let our guard down, so when someone approaches us, we generally let our guard down and that's when it happens!

I remember reading about the Bernie Madoff. Many wealthy people and organizations list millions of dollars based upon his plan... and they never saw it coming.

That's the way with evil. The plan is never simple... and it usually sneaks up on you and leaves you wondering... HOW IN THE WORLD DID THAT HAPPEN?

In Genesis, God describes the serpent as "more crafty than any other beast of the field." Ephesians 6:10-11 warns us by saying:

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil."

You might not be able to see it now, but I guarantee you that satan is planning some long con game in your life right now... So, I challenge you to struggle to be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Don't take the shortcut. Most importantly stick close to God!
